The Award Ceremony

The ceremony of the “Born Global Champion 2016″ award took place in Vienna on 21st of June 2016. It was the same day that the Austrian export day took place.

It is helpful to know that Austria is a very small country (we have roughly 8 million inhabitants) and therefore export is very important for the Austrian economy. The chamber of commerce puts a lot of effort in promoting Austrian companies abroad and has several events each year (like this one) to promote export and encourage Austrian companies to go global.

After the ceremony, as always there was time for snacks and some drinks and the winners mingled with the crowd that attended the event.

A special thank goes out to the wonderful people that are creating sofasession! Every day it is a pleasure to be working with you guys!

Thanks a lot again to the Austrian Chamber of Commerce and we also congratulate all other winners of this award. All the best to everyone and hope to see you next year again!
